About

World Digestive Health Day is an annual awareness campaign initiated by the World Gastroenterology Organization (WGO) on May 29th. This year’s World Digestive Health Day (WDHD) theme highlights Chronic Diarrhea: Don’t Flush the Signs Away.

Starting May 29th, 2026, we’re launching a virtual education event on CDHF.ca, featuring expert-led presentations on key digestive health topics—available for you to watch anytime, at your convenience.

Our goal is to educate, inspire, and empower health care professionals to provide exceptional care—and to motivate members of the public to take control of their digestive health. We’ll achieve this through a collaborative lineup of timely, practical, and evidence-based presentations on hot topics in digestive health, many of which are commonly misunderstood. These sessions will be delivered by leading health care professionals and subject matter experts.
